Much of the deforestation has happened in recent years. Since the onset of the industrial era, forests have declined by 32%. Especially in the tropics, many of the world’s remaining three trillion trees are falling fast, with about 15 billion cut each year, the Nature study states.

If trees disappeared overnight, so would much of the planet’s biodiversity. Habitat loss is already the primary driver of extinction worldwide, so the destruction of all remaining forests would be “catastrophic” for plants, animals and more, there would be massive extinctions of all groups of organisms, both locally and globally.

The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees campaign is a major forest restoration program. Our goal is to restore and protect forests across the planet to slow the connected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.
